If you wanted to share that advertisement on social media, you wouldn’t be able to, because most social media sites - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. As an example, let’s say you have a print advertisement for your restaurant in PDF. Having a JPG version of a PDF allows you to do more with that document. You can’t upload a PDF to Instagram, for example, because Instagram only accepts image files. This means you can’t upload PDF files to image-based systems. However, PDF files are classified as documents, not images. This may make PDF files seem similar to images. In other words, you can draft a PDF file on a Windows PC and it will look the same on an iPhone, a MacBook, or even a television. They usually have text, links, and sometimes images, but they are viewed universally on all systems. PDF files are like snapshots of document files. Common image file formats are JPG, PNG, and TIFF, for example. *For some reason Preview is kicking this "seed" PDF to the end when I add the additional PDF files, so that's why I'm saying start with your last page instead of the first page, so you don't have to re-order them again.Images are files that contain graphical information, usually of a photograph, drawing, or another kind of visual media. Now follow steps as above: select all of the rest of the PDFs in the Finder, and drag them ONTO the page thumbnail icon in the sidebar of Preview to get a multi-page PDF. Preview saves the jpegs as individual PDFs to your selected folder.Ĭlose out of the jpegs and open the LAST of the PDFs you just made* and display the sidebar. In the following dialog, choose PDF for the format, and choose a place to save the PDFs. Right-click in the sidebar area and choose Save a Copy to Folder. Select all the thumbnails in the sidebar (Command-A.) The jpegs will display in one window but still be separate files, as discussed above. Open all jpegs in Preview and display the sidebar. The only workaround we found adds another step to the process. the first page looks good (no border) while all the following pages have an annoying white border around the image. We are using Snow Leopard and having the same results as Daniel Serodio, i.e.
